How to align deskjet 6940 in windows 7 using windows std drivers

I have a deskjet 6940 printer installed in Windows 7 64 bit using the standard Win 7 drivers and it works fine The issue is what about aligning the printer? If you get new cartridges, the first thing you do is align the printer. Win 7 drivers do not do this. When can we get something to be able to align the printer under Win 7?
Thanks,
Vic

AFAIK the Deskjet 6940 performs an automatic alignment when a new cartridge is installed. The printer will print an alignment page and scan it automatically while printing to complete the alignment process without any user intervention required.
I think you can also force an alignment as follows: turn on the printer, then press and hold the power button and while pressing the power button press the resume button (to the right of the X button) three times, then release the power button. (This works for the Deskjet 6550 and other models, I think it applies to the 6940 as well.)

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

How do i run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

How can I run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

You will need a licensed copy of Windows 7, and I recommend VMFusion. You can run the program in Unity mode just as if it were a Mac application. Or, you can install Windows in Bootcamp and run the Mac in Windows when you boot and run it that way. Depends on the resources. I prefer the VM method because it is cleaner and gives you more options as far as backups, etc.

How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?

How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
My home network is used both by my macbook and my wife's windows pc. Considering that, I would like to know if we can share our pictures with each other (specially because I intend to store all of them into a NAS storage - WD My Cloud, probably).

No you can not - neither iPhoto nor Aperture has any cross platform capability
You can share photos with the PC using MyPhotoStream or Shared PhotoStreames
You can not share the iPhoto library
And you can not put the iPHoto library on a NAS - it MUST always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and mube on a fast wired local connection - it can not be on a Network
There are Digital Asset Managers that can do what you want - iPhoto and Aperture can not

How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

depend on the document program more then anything else really
when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

How can I check my icloud emails using windows xp?

My MacBook Pro crashed and I am currently using an old laptop on windows xp. When I go to enter online in Icloud.com my emails it does not allow me to see my emails unless I install icloud on my laptop. The problem is that when I follw the directions and the relevant link it sais that icloud is compatible only with windows 7 or 8. Does that practically means that I will not check my emails until my mac is back in life?

Thank you for the answer
I am trying to access my emails using my browser but when I enter my ID and password a message appears saying that I need to set up icloud first in my current device before I can make use (enter) icloud.com
Then I pressed more info to find out how I can do that in a windows pc and I found out the following:
''To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first step set up your iCloud account on your other devices or Mac, then install iCloud for Windows''
Any suggestion?

How to make J2EE application in OC4J use windows credentials

The configurations in mod_osso.conf were not made properly hence getRemoteUser() was failing. Once mod_osso.conf was configured properly everything went well.

How to move albums that were saved using windows media player

I have a number of albums that are saved on my computer using windows media player. These were saved before I got itunes. I tried moving some of the albums into itunes but they don't show in tunes. Is there a way to do this rather than read all of the cd's into itunes.
Thank you

Sure thing.
In iTunes, go to File -> Add Folder to Library or Add File to Library. Select the folder which contains your music, or select individual tracks.
If in your iTunes settings you have iTunes copy music to it's folder and manage it for you, will then make a copy of the music, and put it into the iTunes location for music. It will even convert WMA files for you, into whatever file format you have under Import Settings in your iTunes preferences.
If in your preferences, itunes does NOT make a copy of your media, then it will simply reference the location it is in currently. If this is the case, then do not move the location of the songs from WMP. However, by default iTunes does make a copy into it's own directory, and if this is the case, you can actually delete the older files, as now you have a copy of these files in your iTunes directory.
Does this make sense?

Locate link browser window using windows 7 outlook 2003

I have been using windows 7 (64bit) along with outlook 2003 with no problem till today. All of a suddden everytime I click to open a link from within an outlook e-mail message a "locate link browser window opens" I see lots of issues on the internet with Vista or XP but no specific causes or solutions with 7.

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1. Try to set your browser as Default in “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs”:
Change which programs Windows uses by default
2. Please also try this:
The Locate Link Browser dialog box appears when you open a Web link in an e-mail message in Outlook 2003
Considering this issue is related to Microsoft Office, if the issue persists, it is recommended that you go to Microsoft Office Forum for further investigation:

Hope this helps. Thanks.

How do I install PFB fonts when using Windows 7 64bit?

I got a new 64 bit computer with Windows 7. But when I copied the fonts I was using on the old computer the PFB fonts do not work any longer.
The old ATMF program does not work on this computer so how do I now install the PFB fonts?
//Anni

Hopefully you did not try to install the old Adobe Type Manager software. If you did, you may need to totally reload Windows if you cannot restore your system to its state prior to attempting to install that software!
Assuming that you didn't make that fatal mistake, the method for installing Type 1 fonts, each of which consists of a .pfb and a .pfm file is as follows:
(1)     Copy the .pfb and the .pfm files to a single directory if they are not already so available.
(2)     Select the .pfm files for the fonts you wish to install.
(3)     Right-click and select Install which will then proceed to install the fonts onto your system copying both the .pfb and the .pfm files to the C:\Windows\Fonts directory. Do not drag-and-drop these files! Alternatively, if you don't want the font files themselves resident in the C:\Windows\Fonts directory, when you right-click the files, select Install as shortcut. This installs the font but references it from its current location.
